"If (Chae) Eun-sung got on base, I was going to bunt him even if he didn't have an autograph."

The home run king in 2023 and the No. 1 home run in Korea this year as well. The best big guns in the league, who are recognized, expressed their concerns that are not like him.

Noh Si-hwan fired a final solo shot over the left fence in the top of the ninth inning against the Kiwoom Heroes 1-1 at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 4th. Hanwha won 2-1 on the day thanks to Ponce's good pitching of one run in seven innings and Noh Si-hwan's winning shot, leading without hesitation.




However, Noh Si-hwan, who met with reporters after the game, came up with an unexpected story. If Chae Eun-sung, the leadoff hitter, got on base in the top of the ninth inning, he was planning to bunt even if there was no signature from the bench.

First, I brought up Ace Ponce. He "He threw so well that he tried to catch this game somehow. Even after the defense was over in the bottom of the eighth inning, the seniors held a meeting and said, `Let's catch it instead of extending it today.' "I have to catch this kind of game to get the atmosphere over. I feel especially good because I hit a home run and finished it."

"I had a bad feeling of hitting, and I needed one point somehow, so I tried to bunt it out of the blue. But he was out, so I asked him to do it boldly, but it became a home run."




Roh Si-hwan's 16th homer of the season. After Samsung Diaz (27), LG Austin (20), KIA Wisdom (17), Noh ranked fourth in homers and first among native hitters, ahead of Park Dong-won (15).

Before the game, head coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `I got off to No. 6 to hit comfortably.' Noh Si-hwan said, `Actually, I'm not the type to feel pressured about being the fourth batter, but because it was so bad, I was batting .202, so I felt a little heavy. I played more comfortably today."

"Actually, my goal this year was the home run king. But now I gave up because of Diaz. Rather than hitting a home run, shouldn't you hit a batting average of 300. The manager told me to hit 30 home runs because I could hit .25 before the season, so I said okay, but the batting average was too low…I've done everything. I hit it with someone else's bat, and I changed my feeling and timing by myself, and there's nothing I haven't done. But I don't think I can do anything when I can't. Practice is the only answer after all."

He said "I don't like the first half of the year. It didn't contribute to the team. I'll try to win more games in the second half thanks to myself"I kept holding myself back.

On this day, Ponce and Kiwoom Alcantara's weather was brilliant. Kiwoom scored one point in the first inning and Hanwha scored one point in the third inning, followed by a 0 march.

Noh Si-hwan said "Isn't it hard for pitchers to go to overtime. I couldn't score as much as I could. I can't wait to finish it, and I'm trying to catch it."

Hanwha is now racing to the top of the list. It is an unfamiliar experience for most of the coaches and players as well as Noh Si-hwan.

However, manager Kim Kyung-moon was different. Noh Si-hwan said, `The manager said, 'We are not aiming for fall baseball. It should be No. 1, not No. 2 or 3. You always said that you have to look at LG, but thanks to you, it became No. 1 and I think you're maintaining itI looked back to ".

"Actually, isn't it the first time for me to continue to win first place?" Rather than how to keep it, I just value every game. First of all, let's catch today's game, the coach takes care of the collapsed game, so the coach's choice is different. There are times when you use a pinch runner in the 4th and 5th innings. It hits the spot again. As a player, let's catch this game. I think that's the secret to leading the way."
